Here are some more images from our bus ride from Florence to Carrara. My apologies for no images of Gail. She will return in the sets of the marble quarry tour.

For more images of the Tuscan countryside between Florence and Carrara, please see my previous post:

Yes, you did well again, Mark. The solar farm you mentioned as ruining your image reminds me of how I often try to remove wind turbines from my sunset photos. They are both useful tools (solar and wind turbines) in our lives, but not our photos.

Excellent set Mark, well done on the challenging last shot. Was the second photo at an Autogrill? We stopped at a few on out month-long road trip of almost 3,000km around Italy in late spring; they are amazing places.

Thanks Dennis. I think it was an autogrill. We did stop at one in Sicily
